Specify The Fields and Actions To Be Audited

The system only audits actions (insert, update and delete) made to fields that you want audited.

To specify the fields and actions to be audited:

  • Navigate to the Table portal for a table on which you have enabled auditing.
  • For each field you want to audit, specify the actions you want to audit by turning on the Audit Delete, Audit Insert and Audit Update switches as appropriate.
Note: You can also turn on the audit switches using the Field zone at the bottom of the Table portal.
CAUTION: Audit Program Caching! The audit program from the table meta-data is read into a program cache on the application server whenever the date changes or when the server starts. If you implement new auditing on a table, your audit trail does not become effective until this program cache is reloaded. In other words, new audits on tables where the audit program was not previously specified do not become effective until the next day (or the next restart of the application server). However, if you change the fields to be audited for a table where the audit program is already in the cache, your changes are effective immediately.
